“Ni Musculos Ni Secreciones” (Neither Muscles Nor Secretions) is a gallery show comprised of various work by 15 vegan artists from Spain, the UK and the US.

Scientists say the radiation given off by mobile phones and other high-tech gadgets may be interfering with the bees’ navigation systems, preventing them from finding their way back to their hives.

Although sufficient hard proof of this theory is still lacking, research already suggests that cell phone radiation may have serious adverse effects on human health, causing brain tumors, reduced sperm counts and loss of brain cells. If cell radiation can do this to people, imagine what it could do to bees…
